Views of My Father Weeping

The story begins, "An aristocrat was riding down the street in his carriage. He ran over my father." It then tells of the narrator's efforts to discover who the aristocrat was and how, precisely, his father had died; these accounts are interspersed with visions of his father weeping on the bed, or with a large dog, or writing on the wall with crayons, etc. Finally the narrator finds the coachman Lars Bang, who describes the accident fully. But a companion says, "'Bang is an absolute bloody liar,'" and the story ends with the word "Etc."
